We ended up having to book last minute and Emma came through for us and our babies! She set up a meet and greet with us to make sure our dogs got a chance to meet her prior to our trip. She kept us updated daily and sent photos as well! We will definitely will be booking again in the future! She is great and we highly recommend!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets and animals with special needs. I’ve cared for dogs with arthritis, mobility problems, and cancer, helping them move around safely, go outside, and stay comfortable. I also have experience with physical-therapy routines, including assisting a dog with weakened back legs and water-treadmill therapy. With cats and dogs, I’ve helped give medications and have experience giving fluids to a cat with kidney issues. I’ve also walked, fed, and watched neighbors’ dogs, including Charlie, Rosie, and Parker. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adjusting my care to each pet’s individual needs. My schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with consistent attention and care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I can also work around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they’re used to. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable, whether that means an energetic walk, extra patience with a senior dog, medication at a certain time, or simply giving a shy pet some space. I’m very careful with leashes, doors, gates, feeding instructions, and anything else an owner points out. Having cared for pets with mobility issues and other special needs, I’m used to paying attention to the little things and adjusting my care when needed. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.

About: Check out my recent pictures showing all kinds of doggy(s) in their own element. You can find photos below. Hey! My name is Liza & I run this Rover account. I’m sure your doggy(s) will love this place. It’s like a Dream land for sure. Please don’t forget to leave a review. I love taking care of dogs! Taking care of them as if they were my own & treat them as family. If you’re seeking for someone with experience, than you’re in the correct spot. I have experience taking care of many different breeds for instance Great Pyrenees, Poodles, German Shepards, Australian Shepards, Pitbulls, & Border Collies just to name a few. I’ve also taken care of many of friends' dogs & family's dogs, back in New York, whenever they are busy or go on vacation. I always keep track of every dog's needs (ex: Feeding time, potty time, and any necessary meds). *Important*: During the holiday season it is likely that I will take care of more than 3 dogs at once. This includes Thunder. My sister’s Dog. ***If you would like me to take care of only your dog(s) there will be a small upcharge. Please let me know if you would like this service. - All dogs must have all updated vaccinations. Availability: Every day unless listed as not available or Away on the calendar. I do work remotely. This allows me to have time to take care of your dog(s). Your dog will get a lot of playtime with other dogs. Sometimes, Thunder my sister’s may be around. He is a sweetheart. Your doggy(s) will be free to roam indoors & outside the backyard. There’s a fenced-in yard with a pool! Your dog(s) can have a swim if he/she chooses to and will be monitored at all times. Thunder loves making new dog friends. So your dog(s) will have a great amount of playtime with Thunder if he is around. We will give your dog(s) lots of love and cuddles.

About: What sets me apart is my personalized, positive approach to pet care—every dog is treated as an individual! I focus on building trust, clear communication, and real-life skills that work at home and on walks. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I am a student with a flexible schedule and with that flexibility, have the opportunity to do what I love-pet care! Long overnight stays, drop-ins daily, or quick weekend visits are things I love to spend my time doing. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care and closely follow each pet’s routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. I use gentle, positive methods and maintain a calm, clean environment so every pet feels safe, respected, and at ease while in my care.

About: I am a lover to all pets, but especially big dogs. Some people are scared of them, but I think that they’re the biggest babies ever. I’ve had one of my own so I know from personal experience. I’ve handled pets from the tiniest to the biggest so I love them all. I currently work full-time. But I’m a very flexible person and I have no problem with early mornings or late afternoons. I’m honestly OK with any time upon discussion. Just reach out! I care for pets in their own environment so they stay comfortable and stress-free. I follow their daily routine, give plenty of attention, go for walks or play sessions, and make sure they’re fed and happy. I also keep the home tidy and secure while you’re away.

About: Our family has over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including two dogs and a cat. Through the years, I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from active younger pets to seniors requiring extra patience and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing exercise, giving plenty of affection, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. An added perk, I am currently working remote from home and will be able to be home with your pets the majority of the day! I currently work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with flexibility for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins. I am home most of the day and can give pets the attention and care they need while maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to work with owners to provide a comfortable, stress-free experience. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. As a longtime pet owner, I understand the importance of keeping pets secure, maintaining their routines, and paying attention to their individual personalities and needs. I am committed to providing a clean home, close supervision, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Since I work remotely, I am able to be present throughout the day and provide companionship, bathroom breaks, and regular attention. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat every pet with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have had pets throughout my life and have been a devoted cat mom for the past five years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s caring for someone’s beloved family member as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, and I’m able to provide flexible, attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs. I enjoy having pets as part of my day and make time for regular feeding, playtime, medications (if applicable), litter box care, and plenty of companionship. I treat both the pet and the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions before beginning care.

About: I truly care about each pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for young pets who need extra attention, consistency, and basic training, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or special care. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they receive the best care possible. I’m currently working part-time, but I will always make sure your pet receives my full, undivided attention, care, and love whenever I’m with them. I care for your best friend as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.

About: Hello! I’m Haileigh, an experienced animal lover with several years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in both rescue and veterinary settings. I spent 2 years working at Big Dog Ranch Rescue in South Florida, where I gained extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. After moving to Orlando, I spent 9 months working at a dog daycare located within a veterinary hospital in Winter Park. This gave me even more experience understanding animal behavior, providing attentive care, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I later transferred to the veterinary hospital’s pharmaceutical department, where I continue to be surrounded by animals and the veterinary world. My experience in these environments has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things, from changes in behavior and appetite, to making sure each pet receives the individual care and attention they need. Outside of work, I’m a proud mom to two cats of my own. I’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering a pit bull named Koa for 7 months before he found his forever home. Fostering him was incredibly meaningful to me and reinforced just how much I love helping animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, my goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pets are family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in loving, experienced, and trustworthy hands while you’re away. I currently work full time, monday through friday 8am-5pm, however I would love to drop in on weekends or holidays if need be to walk dogs or take care of cats. I have walked many different dogs ranging from 5lbs to 130lbs, and have no issue walking them on a leash. I have experienced dogs with a variety of behavioral issues such as food aggression and toy possession.

I’m so grateful for the exceptional care Princess received. Not only did Matthew accept a last-minute walk request on Thanksgiving, but he also went above and beyond during every visit. His walk notes were detailed and thoughtful, and I loved the adorable little stories he shared about my dog “chatting” with the other dogs along the way. It’s clear he genuinely enjoys what he does. Matthew treated Princess with so much kindness, and it meant a lot to hear him say how good she was. His reliability, positivity, and attention to detail truly set him apart. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and professional dog walker. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is in such good hands. Thank you Matt!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Forest City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Forest City on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,381 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forest City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Forest City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Forest City.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest City. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
